No Duck Molestation

We don’t know what “L.A. County Code 17.04.470″ entails, nor do we particularly want to know …

Apparently, it involves various prohibitions against feeding – and molesting – ducks.

“Quack, quack” people.

“Quuuuuwhooaaa! Whack Whack!”

“That’s not my tail feather, buddy!”

Anyway, while we’re glad it’s illegal to “goose a duck,” we would like to know where the L.A. County Code stands on duck pickpockets.

Because those things are nuisances …

Update – By popular demand, here’s the actual LA County code:

17.04.470 Animals–Injuring or killing prohibited–Exceptions.
A person shall not molest, hunt, disturb, injure, shoot at, take, net, poison, wound, harm, kill or remove from any park or riding and hiking trail any kind of animal except:
A. When necessary to avoid bodily harm;
B. When fishing or hunting are permitted by the director;
C. If requested by the administrative head of a park containing a nature museum, he may capture such an animal and deliver it unharmed to the administrative head;
D. If a person is a duly authorized park employee and is doing so in the performance of his duties. (Ord. 10729 § 9, 1976; Ord. 10309 Art. 3 § 43, 1971.)

Good to know … good to know.
